Instructions to Make a Christmas Pallet

Here are the steps to make a Christmas pallet:

Step 1: Paint

Start with the pallet Christmas tree and the vintage effect wash. Paint on a coat of grey first, allow to sit a few minutes, and then wipe away any excess with a rag.

Step 2: Cut Fabric and Burlap

You can now begin to cut your fabric. There are enough pieces in the file to make two of the trees shown. Including two stars to cut from burlap, two from stiff white felt, and many, many flannel flags.

Step 3: Add Flags and Stars to the Tree

Once your tree is dry, start laying out your flannel flags onto the pallet Christmas tree any way that you like. Then add the flags to the twine using the tacky glue all the way around the edges as shown below. Wrap around the twine and press together. These will then need to dry.

Step 4: Assemble the Tree

Once everything is dry, you can begin to assemble your pallet Christmas tree project. Use a staple gun on the back to secure each row of twine into place.

Step 5: Add a Star to the Top of the Tree

Glue your star to the top of the tree with tacky glue. Set your entire pallet Christmas tree project aside and make sure it is completely dry before using it in your farmhouse holiday decor.

Tips and Variations

Here are some tips and variations to consider when making a Christmas pallet:

• • Use a Premade Pallet Tree: If you don’t want to make your own pallet tree, you can purchase a premade one online or at a local craft store.
  • Add a Personal Touch: Consider adding a personal touch to your Christmas pallet, such as a monogram or a special message.
  • Use Different Materials: Consider using different materials to decorate your Christmas pallet, such as ribbons, bows, or flowers.
  • Make it a Family Project: Consider making a Christmas pallet a family project, and involve your children in the process of decorating and assembling the pallet.
